Table 3 Comparison of requirements and the CAD/CAM system developed
From: CAD/CAM for scalable nanomanufacturing: A network-based system for hybrid 3D printing
RQMTS No. | Details | CAD/CAM system |
|---|---|---|
1 | Process knowledge database | DFM rules for individual processes were implemented in the system, with caution messages to designers. |
2 | Standardized processing/ open-source programming | The system was constructed using OpenJSCAD platform. Part geometry/process plans can be exported in text format. |
3 | Active communication | The system was constructed on a network, and designers and operators can access and modify design/process plans. |
4 | Adaptive interpolation | CAM files were generated for each individual process. |
5 | Consistent coordinate system | Alignment patterns for three different processes were implemented in the hybrid process. |
6 | Management of peripheral devices | — |
